Il was Horace Greeley, we believe,
who said II was no dinicult task 20
indite filtb. but such garbage came
far from constituting an editor. We
are reminded from perusing satur-
days edition Of the Hsraid that a
person may pick mp street rumors
rejecting upon citizens, and hence
may appear TO assume a painstaking
and independent position, but that
which may be accredited to be ichife
IL In fact hack. In one place, in
treating upon the railroads which
are looking 70 Salina for a connee-
ton, the paper says: "Tt Is also ru-
mored that a few parties have con-
eeived the idea Of making a stake
1t Is to be regretted that
we have men in our community who
would, IL not paid for their silence,
threaten 10 iDjure the city IN this
way" TrOt them out! We want 10
know who the miscreants are-and
please don't let any fellow plaster
your mouth over with a ten-dOilar
note. Again, concerning the disa-
greement in the ChilsOn ease, il an-
imadyerts: I'VE heard q gentle
man say soon after the jury WHs im-
panneled that the jury would hang.
He intimated that Il had been fixed.
J. w. johnson. one Of the jurors,
told the Herald that somebody yes
terday slipped a bottle Of beer under
another jurors coat tail. Mr.. john |
son said the defendant, ChilsOn, had |
invited him TO take q cigar, but be I
refused" Does Mr.. J. announce /
himself as an ass? A cigar for /
sooth! It Is silly elap-trap. Such 4
and kindred publications are cruel 4
and a crime. They prove nothing, I
but tend to create a vicious senti- I
ment, and more than likely cast as
pensions upon persons who should l
not be accused. Bnt the medium
Of the publications are TO be eOnsid-
cred. We have seen this righteous
parsonage Of the Herald, when fol-
lowed for his malicious publica-
tiOns, stink behind the walls OF his
cellar like dog in his kennel. We
remember the bank affair; we re-
member the EgglestOn affair; we re-
member the shOrt-dress affair. All 4
the courage Of the Herald seemed Of /
a sudden TO OOze from the finger /
ends. Some OF those peccadillOes Of I
the Herald pO- sess more Of a black I
mailing hue than otherwise; men I
are disposed To patrOnize the sheet I
to close its mouth against them. /
The secret Of its strength such as
il is, lies In its assumed independ- J
enee and smartness, but we have I
seen It driven to the wall for the I
reason that Il knew absolutely moth /
ing of what IL was prating. lt lost |
sight Of the great attribute Of honor /
able and successful journalism,
which is to know and tell the truth. /
It's purpose has been to gain a per- I
sOnal advantage, regardless OF the !
sacrifice of decency and fairness, |
and Il has been INSCRIPTIONS i'm its |
methods. These charges which u |
makes against citizens, unsupported /
as they seem TO be, will have very /
little bearing among the people, n
the men il assails by inuendO were l
here long before the Herald editor, |
and have established a reputation /
that is certainly better than his.

THE following art Gle from the
BrOOkville Transcript is worthy Of
being copied into a "boom" edi-
tiOn.
Saline county has within the pas
few years jumped frC IN a compare
lively FOorly settled county % one
with nearly 5000 population.
Five years ago there were no manu-
factories 10 the county, now there
are alIOut fifty Of different kinds.
Then Salina was only q small city,
now she has over 5000 inhabitants.
BrOOkville had q little over 800, now
she has very near a thousand; Gyp-
sum city and Chico were born only
q little over a year ago, now they
Gre good sized cities. Four years
ago Saline county had but one main
line OF railroad and one branch, now
she has three trunk lines and seveTai
branches. Five years ago there
were thousands of acres Of railroad
lands I'm the west half Of the county,
now there are only abort three see
tions left I'm the entire county un-
sold. -Four years ago there we're but
three weekly newspapers published
in the county, now there are nine
weeklies and two dailies. During
these years there have been great
changes, but as great ones will take
place during the next five years, and
now Is the time to settle here and
join ia the procession.

EX-UNITED STATES MINISTER To
Russia AlphOza Taft, Of Ohio, is Of
the opinion that Ohio will send a
sOlid John Sherman delegation to
the republican national convention
next year, but the New York delega-
ton will settle the nomination Of 3
candidate. While he admits that
Mr.. blaine Is popular among the re-
publican masses of the west, he
thinks Senator Sherman IL strong in
New York. Ex-Pustmaster Gen
eral Frank HattOn thinks Blaine. II
nominated in 1883, would be beaten,
and that Sherman Is the strongest
man in the republican party,
and Che only ono that can be
nominated with certainty OF cleo
ton. The feeling t'lat Sherman II
the strongest man with the people in
the country is taking better hold of
republicans every day. Blaine and
Fairchild or Sherman aad Morton
appear to be the tickets generally
spoken Of.

Of offering cheaper transportation

JOHN SHERMAN indited glowing
words of patriOtism, when he wrote
the follwing to Gov. Foraker, OF
Ohio:
am delighted beyond expression
at your patriotic stand on the pro-
posed surrender of the rebel flags,
and your bold defiance of the presi-
dent. His act was in substance q
recognition Of the success OF the lost
cause. How such an idea could EN-
ter the mind 0f anyone I cannot inn
agine. ! have felt keenly the ten
den " Of public opinion, especially
ia commercial cities, tO yield every
thing, homer included, to the spirit
of rebellion. \ halt has been called
and | sm glad that you had the
honor tn take the first decisive step.
Very sincerely yours,
JOHN SHERMAN.

Az Ohio man was quoted promi-
nently the other day as saying the
people OF his state would greatly pre-
fer the nomination Of Blaine to
Sherman. And yet Foraker and the
rest NO are most conspicuous In
looking after the republicanlsm OF
the state declare that Ohio Is almost
a unit, 50 far as the sentiment Of the
republican party is concerned, for
John sherman. Somebody must be
mistaken, but Il would be a singular
thing to find the men who DO the
most aetive party work now a unit
for sherman and opposed by those
who are the quieter force Of the
party as espOusers OF the nOmina-
ton Of Blaine. This T. not likely to
be the fact, although the Ohio APP
pearances can but brii & the thought
% mind. Farther west the express
sion has not yet become very pro-
nounced. Many arr asking In q
general way for the nomination OF
somebody worthy OF the place who
can carry New York.
